A Civilized Society
Author: Nolene Triska Source: The Estacada News (OR)
Title: A CIVILIZED SOCIETY
The wording on the flyer was, well…interesting. “The Laws and Statutes of the United States and the State of Oregon will be in full force and effect. Violations will be reported to the appropriate mundane authorities.” And later: “Please do not use the Pied Piper as a babysitter.”
The word “mundane” wasn’t meant as a put-down, I knew. The word just referred to anything modern. I was at the Society for Creative Anachronism’s “Bows and Blades” event, an archery and rapier academy held at Timber Park August 11, 12 and 13.
As 8th century Roman proconsul Baron Titus Antonius Archelaus of the Barony of Three Mountains shook my hand, I wondered whether to curtsy or not.

You missed a zero: the official count at Pennsic was just shy of 12,000 people.
A surprisingly large percentage of those people were neopagans (although it was sometimes hard to tell if someone wearing a thor's hammer as a neo pagan, or just because they were dressed up like a Viking) .
My only complaint about this article: Not enough pictures!
